Abstract

Keratoacanthoma is a benign epithelial growth tumor arising from the hair follicle predominantly in elderly patients on sun-exposed skin. Intralesional therapy with 5-fluorouracil is a safe treatment and may be the treatment of choice for multiple keratoacanthoma and solitary lesion which are difficult to remove surgically. We have experienced a case of multiple keratoacanthoma which involved the right nasolabial fold and the left ear. We treated them with oral etretinate and intralesional 5-fluorouracil(5-FU), therefore minimized the scar of the lesion and the possibility of recurrence.
